Question bout formula giving my baby gas

My baby girl will be 1 month old on about 4 days, and when we first brought her home from the hospital she was eating the Similac advanced for the first couple of weeks. But WIC only provides you with the Gerber formula. So she has been eating the Gerber gental. Since we have changed the formula it seems as if she has more gas. Could the gas be caused cause of the formula? And if so how can I relieve her gas?

My 6 weeks old is so uncomfortable because of gas, since about week 2. He’s on breast milk and we supplement with Enfamil Gentlease because I’m not producing enough milk. We tried different formulas, diet change, medication for reflux... he takes gripe water, mylicon drops, probiotics. Nothing helps 😭😭😭 his pediatrician thinks it’s just his immature digestive system and he’ll grow out of it. My poor baby wakes up crying because he has to pass gas, he is fussy most of his awake time. We do bicycle legs, tummy time, go for rides and walks. I found that we get lost relief from using Windi- little tubes that you insert in baby’s anus to relief gas. It works the best for him, he settles down pretty quickly. I’m hoping he’ll outgrow this period soon, it breaks my heart, not to say how exhausted I am 😕

Maybe you can switch to similar for a week and see if it makes a difference. Can you just buy a week supply?
